Overlooked Podcast
A podcast about under-appreciated and overlooked things, be it movies, games, books, professions, food, modes of transport, domestic or undomesticated animals, drag queens, YouTube channels, cheeses, and anything else that we can think of. It is hosted by two gay geeks who want to share their love of discovering new things with others. They like to attend events like Pax (East and Unplugged), as well as local events to find new and interesting things. The podcast will also have a variety of guests to discuss what they love that they think is overlooked. If you would like to suggest topics for the show or be a participant on the show please contact us on Twitter at @overlookedcast or use the following link: https://goo.gl/forms/TOn3NEuNNFKIKyxa2
Episodes
Spooky Month is upon us. These two board games really put us in the festive mood, with angry ghosts, scared townsfolk, and a ticking clock(tower) we invite you to look at two of our favorite games: Blood on the Clocktower and Mysterium.
Blood on the Clocktower is a hidden agenda deception game inspired by classics like Werewolf but with more roles, active after death mechanics, and a felt lined book that any collector will love.
New Zealand has a lot of dark comedy, horror movies. We discuss one that we saw at the Tribeca Film Festival "Come To Daddy" directed by Ant Timpson (Known for ABCs of Death, Turbo Kid, and Housebound).
We discuss what makes this movie different and if you enjoy any of the previous works you should really check this movie out and why if you are Elijah Wood you should never go visit your estranged father in the middle of nowhere.

Mike and Shane discuss two of their favorite D&D 5E books, Xanathar's Guide to Everything and Faerie Fire.
Xanathar's Guide to Everything is an official 5E rulebook that adds tons of new sub-classes, more flavor for character history, magic items, and rules clarifications for anyone who wants to explore more of D&D.
Faerie Fire is "A stylish, glamorous fey bestiary and setting inspired by the 80s and 90s, for use with 5e", which t...
In this draft episode Shane and Mike discuss some surprising statistics found from playing with DnDBeyond. Druids are the most under-created class in 5E, and we think more people should try them out, especially with the new Xanathar's Guide to Everything sub-classes.
We also talk about different ways to play Druid's other than high and mighty for those who wanted to try playing a Druid but didn't want to commit to Lawful Good.
Shane and Mike realize that they love Puffs so much that they stop talking about why you should go see Puffs and eventually just start quoting the show to each other. I cut out about 15 min of them just talking about Harry Potter lore to try to keep them on track!

Shane and Mike salivate over different local foods that they feel like people don't try when friends visit. Everything from Pimento Grilled Cheese, Grits, Pork Roll (Taylor Ham?), Tomato Pie (Is it just a pizza?), Disco Fries, and more.

If aliens blow up castles, what do castles do to hats? Shane and Mike discuss board games that they loved from Pax East 2018: "Complicated Board Game: The Card Game", and "Root: A Game of Woodland Might and Right".
Find out why we stopped to play these games (hint: the art stopped us), and why we fell in love and bought both on the spot.
Just don't explain the joke to Shane, he won't get it.
Mike and Shane recently went to Pax East 2018 and had a great time. There were things that were overlooked by quite a bit of people however. The rooms and events outside of the main stage and show floor have tons of things to do and bring a bigger sense of community to the whole show. Waiting in line for panels and meeting new friends to busting a move to Just Dance.
Join us as we discuss:
- The Cookie Brigade room
- Tabletop/Con...
Today we look at John Scalzi's "Old Man's War". It is an all time favorite of Shane and his family, and yet Mike hasn't heard of it until he started dating Shane. Join us as we discuss celebrity human chefs... I mean, celebrity chefs who cook humans. Hopefully we can convince you to pick up the book if you haven't already read it.

Who doesn't like being reminded daily about how the powerful few can manipulate the many into doing whatever they want? I do, which is why I love Secret Hitler. A board game that no one wants to say the name of, but one that should be brought up whenever you have a party. It is full of energy, and very fun manipulation game like Mafia or Werewolf but so much better in my opinion.
Sorry in advance about the audio quality from Shan...
